The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) of the three countries prepare the agenda and deliverables of the Summit by convening a series of meetings at various levels, ranging from Director to Minister, and communicating with other ministries to exchange information and follow up on their progress of functional cooperation in the relevant areas. Throughout this process, the three Parties review the progress and set the future direction of the trilateral cooperation, discuss ways to promote trilateral consultation on key regional and global issues, and make necessary preparation for the Summit Meeting.

As one of the essential partners as well as customers of the TCS’ projects and services, the TCS has been maintaining close communication with the three MOFAs to provide supports for the facilitation of consultative mechanisms and implementation of new cooperation initiatives, while enlisting their continued guidance for the management and capacity building of the TCS. The TCS also places significance in giving impetus to institutionalizing trilateral cooperation and working towards the complete restoration of its process by expanding habits of cooperation.
